Perixx PERIBOARD-117 Wired USB Keyboard with Standard US Layout and Chiclet Big Print Keys, Black

Fills the need for an external keyboard

I loved almost every single thing about this keyboard!! I have only been using it for a few months though and the letters I use most are beginning to fade rather rapidly. Sucks because I love it!!

It is a good keyboard except the paint on the keys get worn off within a couple of months. These are keys that I use a lot with my game, but I still would expect them to be a higher quality than this.

So you got that I like the thing......Here's a little backstory...I got an opportunity to work remote (from home), but needed to provide my own PC equipment. I had been a mac user for the last 10+ years, so was out of the loop. Need some cheap stuff, as it was described to me. So I buy this keyboard, as it seemed reasonable priced. What I found is that I really loved this keyboard after typing on it for 8 hour shifts as a customer service operator, with heavy data entry, taking about 180 calls in a shift, and typing constantly. A back story from there, I learned to type in 7th and 8th grade on manual type writers, so I think I type kind of hard, as I've been told (pound!) Learned to use a wrist pad in the mid 90's at another call center. I like a flat keyboard, as opposed to one that ascends upward. This one has a built-in platform that ascends it up in the back, but it's slight enough that it doesn't bother me. I took a typing test yesterday, and got 96 w/ 3% error. I'm convinced it's the keyboard. I like the prominent braille-like nubs on the F-J keys. Each key is wide, and very stable w/ no wiggle room. Very slightly scooped out, w/ some feeling in the middle. (more near-feedback) I now use the same keyboard on my mac. I do lose the Mac keyboard features, but willing to sacrifice it, due to the fact that it's a faster more accurate keyboarding experience for me.

As advertised: just plug into a vacant USB slot, and start typing. While the lettering on the keys are large, they are still hard to see. Some of the lettering looks like they already have mileage on them, and appear much darker than do others. The keyboard is noisy, with rattles coming from indistinct places while typing. Although new, I will be buying another, better keyboard, soon. And while I won't complain, you get what you pay for. On that note: I will be relegating this keyboard to a backup roll.

I like the feel of the keyboard. The AltGr and 5 keys are supposed to print the symbol for Euro. Doesn't happen. When I press the combination, or even AltGr+Menu+5 keys, still doesn't show a Euro symbol. It does nothing unless I'm in MSWord--when in Word it prints a page! Tried turning off AltGr so it would perform as an Alt key, no joy. I hit Shift + Ctrl simultaneously, still no joy. I can't turn off the malfunctioning AltGr key .I like the feel of the key switches (I'm kind of over mechanical KBs) and footprint of this keyboard; I dislike the malfunctioning AltGr key. I posted a question, we'll see what the company has to say. Thus far, I'll be returning the keyboard if I can't gain control over the AltGr key. if something changes, i.e., if I get information on how to remedy the AltGr issue, I'll post an update. C'est tout!

Purchased this keyboard to add to my Dell Latitude laptop. I was finding the typing on the smaller 12.5" keyboard getting difficult as my arthritis seems to be working on my hands these days. The large lettered keys are the best I have seen. In addition, the letters are actually imprinted into the keys, not a vinyl sticker. So, very small chance of the letters wearing off the keys. For a bargain keyboard, it has an excellent travel speed, plugged into my multi-port C hub, and off to the races! You are not getting a high-end keyboard, but for my use, I am not concerned about lighted keys, or the keyboard ergonomics that are offered. For an add on to your laptop, the perfect bargain keyboard.

Inexpensive & does the job. Bought it to use over a month’s stay in a hotel. Wanted cheap as I expected to leave it behind when I was done, but seemed worth keeping. Keys are still a little stiff after a month’s use.

E' una tastiera con layout US quindi non capisco di cosa si lamentino gli altri utenti. E' normale che abbia i tasti in posti diversi rispetto ad una tastiera con layout IT. Silenziosa e' silenziosa. Pero' per la cifra a cui viene venduta forse vale la pena comprare una logitech che costa 8 euro meno e a livello di plasticosita' penso sia identica.

Nella tastiera i tasti non corrispondono, ho seguito tutti i consigli utili per settarla trovati su internetHo windows 10 in italiano, ho cambiato lingua alla tastiera nelle impostazioni, chiesto a windows di cercare driver, li ho cercati anche io sul sito del produttore ma non ci sono almeno per questo modello. Tastiera quindi da buttare, la restituirei se non avessi rotto la confezione (mai farlo)

Nice big letters, although they could be larger and more ‘contrasty’, perhaps a bold font instead of regular font on the keys. (for the oldies - we want it easy to read)

I give this keyboard a 5 star. I like very much that the letters and numbers are large and very clear to see. I also like that when you type the keys do not make any noise. I am very satisfied with my purchase and recommend this keyboard.

I code for a living and i like this discount keyboard. Your fingers can't be lazy on it, as the keys are true chicklet style keys, which i love for programming.
